(Araliaceae), a well-known folk medicine, has been popularly used to treat respiratory problems, worldwide. It is very likely that this herbal extract is taken in combination with conventional drugs. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of H. helix extract on cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme-mediated metabolism to predict the potential for herb–drug interactions. A cocktail probe assay was used to measure the inhibitory effect of CYP. H. helix extracts were incubated with pooled human liver microsomes or CYP isozymes with CYP-specific substrates, and the formation of specific metabolites was investigated to measure the inhibitory effects. H. helix showed significant inhibitory effects on CYP2C8, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 in a concentration-dependent manner. In recombinant CYP2C8, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 isozymes, the IC50 values of the extract were 0.08 ± 0.01, 0.58 ± 0.03 and 6.72 ± 0.22 mg/mL, respectively. Further investigation showed that H. helix extract has a positive time-dependent inhibition property on both CYP2C8 and CYP2C19 with IC50 shift value of 2.77 ± 0.12 and 6.31 ± 0.25, respectively. Based on this in vitro investigation, consumption of herbal medicines or dietary supplements containing H. helix extracts requires careful attention to avoid any CYP-based interactions. Keywords: Hedera helix; Araliaceae; CYP inhibition; human liver microsomes; herb–drug interaction 1. Introduction Hedera helix L. (Araliaceae), also known as common ivy or English ivy, has been traditionally used for the treatment of respiratory disorders [1]. The pharmacological data of H. helix extracts, including its bronchodilator, antibacterial, bronchospasmolytic, and expectorant effects, have supported its traditional use as a natural remedy for respiratory illness [2,3]. Currently, it is one of the top-selling herbal respiratory medicines in many countries worldwide, and it is popularly used for the treatment of cough and cough-related problems [4,5]. Bronchospasmolytic activity was exerted by hederacoside C, α-hederin, aglycone hederagenin, kaempferol and quercetin of H. helix extract [6]. Apigenin, kaempferol and quercetin significantly reduced the contraction of guinea-pig isolated ileum induced by prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene D4 [7]. The saponin from H. helix inhibited the terbutaline-stimulated internalization of the β2-adrenergic receptor in alveolar epithelial type-II cell line to explain its Molecules 2017, 22, 1241; doi:10.3390/molecules22071241 www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules Molecules 2017, 22, 1241 2 of 10 spasmolytic and β-mimetic effects [8,9]. Hederacoside C (HDC) is known as one of the primary constituents responsible for the therapeutic efficacy of H. helix extracts [10]. Unlike conventional drugs, herbal products are a complex mixture of bioactive constituents. As a result, their co-administration with prescription drugs may produce unexpected toxic or adverse consequences [11]. The main mechanisms underlying such interactions are via pharmacokinetic modulations such as inhibition or induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Among them, the inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP), a representative drug-metabolizing enzyme, is considered as one of the most frequent causes for herb–drug interactions [11,12]. Therefore, evaluating the inhibition of CYP enzyme activity by herbal and herb-derived medicine is vital to predict any possible pharmacokinetic interactions with conventional drugs and to characterize their safety profile. Due to its properties as a respiratory remedy and a traditional herbal medicine, H. helix extracts are very likely to be used as an adjuvant to conventional drugs in treating various diseases accompanied by respiratory disorders. In this context, it is necessary to investigate and characterize the drug interactions with H. helix extracts to ensure safe use. It has been reported that liver enzymes are the major metabolizing enzymes to convert the principal bioactive constituents of H. helix to the secondary metabolites [13,14]. In two in vivo interaction studies [15,16], subcutaneously administered α-hederin influenced P450 enzymes in a dose-dependent manner, but no clinical relevance was expected from the results, as the IC50 values are high in comparison with its bioavailability [14]. However, to our knowledge, no previous studies have investigated how H. helix whole extracts affect CYP enzyme activity. Here, we examined the inhibitory effects of H. helix extract (as a whole) and its major bioactive constituent HDC on CYP450-mediated drug metabolism using human liver microsomes and individual recombinant CYP isozymes. 2. Results 2.1. CYP Inhibition Assay in Pooled Human Liver Microsomes We investigated the inhibitory effect of H. helix extract on CYP enzymes in pooled human liver microsomes. The CYP inhibition assay system was confirmed with the following well-known CYP-selective inhibitors: furafylline for CYP1A2, methoxsalen for CYP2A6, quercetin for CYP2C8, sulfaphenazole for CYP2C9, ticlopidine for CYP2C19, quinidine for CYP2D6, and ketoconazole for CYP3A4. Each of these inhibitors reduced the formation of each corresponding CYP-specific metabolite by >95%, indicating that the assay system was functioning well. The activities of seven CYP isozymes were tested with various concentrations of H. helix extracts, and the amount of metabolite produced at each concentration was measured. Figure1 presents the representative multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) chromatograms of the control and H. helix extract/HDC-treated human liver microsome samples. Notably, H. helix extracts showed significant inhibitory activity against CYP2C8, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 enzyme activity in a concentration-dependent manner (Figure2A,C). The IC50 values of the extract against CYP2C8, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 were 0.13 ± 0.01, 1.04 ± 0.06 and 7.41 ± 0.09 mg/mL, respectively. The inhibitory effects of the extracts on the other CYP isozymes were negligible at all the concentrations tested. As HDC is a known principal bioactive component of the H. helix extract, its effects on CYPs were also investigated. The resulting data showed slight inhibition of the CYP2C8 isozyme (18%) by HDC (Figure2B,D), indicating that HDC is not primarily responsible for the CYP inhibition of H. helix extract.

Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from Faculty of Pharmacy 231 50 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-4784-8. Cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) is an enzyme system involved in the oxygenation of a wide range of endogenous compounds as well as foreign chemicals and drugs. This thesis describes investigations of P450-catalyzed oxygenation of prostaglandins, linoleic and arachidonic acids. The formation of bisallylic hydroxy metabolites of linoleic and arachidonic acids was studied with human recombinant P450s and with human liver microsomes. Several P450 enzymes catalyzed the formation of bisallylic hydroxy metabolites. Inhibition studies and stereochemical analysis of metabolites suggest that the enzyme CYP1A2 may contribute to the biosynthesis of bisallylic hydroxy fatty acid metabolites in adult human liver microsomes. 19R-Hydroxy-PGE and 20-hydroxy-PGE are major components of human and ovine semen, respectively. They are formed in the seminal vesicles, but the mechanism of their biosynthesis is unknown. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction using degenerate primers for mammalian CYP4 family genes, revealed expression of two novel P450 genes in human and ovine seminal vesicles.

  • Pgx - Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19)
    PGx - Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) This assay is used to identify patients who may be at risk for altered metabolism of drugs that are modified by CYP2C19. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozyme 2C19 is responsible for phase I metabloism of about 40% of drugs including: clopidogrel, phenytoin, diazepam, R-warfarin, tamoxifen, some antidepressants, proton pump inhibitors, and antimalarials. Testing Method and Background This test utilizes the eSensor® 2C19 Genotyping Test is an in vitro diagnostic for the detection and genotyping a panel of variants involved with enzyme metabolism using isolated genomic DNA. The eSensor® technology uses a solid-phase electrochemical method for determining the genotyping status. The eSensor® 2C19 Genotyping Test is for research use only (RUO). CYP2C19 drug metabolism varies among individuals depending on specific genotype. The CYP2 family has many single- nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). CYP2C19 gene is located on chromosome 10q23.33 and is highly polymorphic, which can lead to large individual variation in CYP2C19 enzyme activity and related drug response phenotypes and/or undesired adverse drug events. Specifically, the CYP2C19 gene has more than 34 variant alleles identified, which in turn affects the pharmacokinetics of many drugs.

  • Inhibition of Cytochrome P450 2C8-Mediated Drug Metabolism by the Flavonoid Diosmetin

Copyright © 2011 by the Japanese Society for the Study of Xenobiotics (JSSX) Regular Article Inhibition of Cytochrome P450 2C8-mediated Drug Metabolism by the Flavonoid Diosmetin Luigi QUINTIERI1,PietroPALATINI1,StefanoMORO2 and Maura FLOREANI1,* 1Department of Pharmacology and Anaesthesiology, University of Padova, Italy 2Molecular Modeling Section (MMS), Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Padova, Italy Full text of this paper is available at http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/dmpk Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of diosmetin and hesperetin, two flavonoids present in various medicinal products, on CYP2C8 activity of human liver microsomes using paclitaxel oxidation to 6¡-hydroxy-paclitaxel as a probe reaction. Diosmetin and hesperetin inhibited 6¡-hydroxy- paclitaxel production in a concentration-dependent manner, diosmetin being about 16-fold more potent than hesperetin (mean IC50 values 4.25 « 0.02 and 68.5 « 3.3 µM for diosmetin and hesperetin, respectively). Due to the low inhibitory potency of hesperetin, we characterized the mechanism of diosmetin-induced inhibition only. This flavonoid proved to be a reversible, dead-end, full inhibitor of CYP2C8, its mean inhibition constant (Ki)being3.13« 0.11 µM. Kinetic analysis showed that diosmetin caused mixed-type inhibition, since it significantly decreased the Vmax (maximum velocity) and increased the Km value (substrate concentration yielding 50% of Vmax) of the reaction. The results of kinetic analyses were consistent with those of molecular docking simulation, which showed that the putative binding site of diosmetin coincided with the CYP2C8 substrate binding site. The demonstration that diosmetin inhibits CYP2C8 at concentrations similar to those observed after in vivo administration (in the low micromolar range) is of potential clinical relevance, since it may cause pharmacokinetic interactions with co- administered drugs metabolized by this CYP.

  • Frequencies of Clinically Important CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 Alleles Are Graded Across Europe
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2020) 28:88–94 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41431-019-0480-8 ARTICLE Frequencies of clinically important CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 alleles are graded across Europe 1,2 2 1 Jelena Petrović ● Vesna Pešić ● Volker M. Lauschke Received: 15 March 2019 / Revised: 3 July 2019 / Accepted: 17 July 2019 / Published online: 29 July 2019 © The Author(s) 2019. This article is published with open access Abstract CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 are important drug-metabolizing enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of around 30% of all medications. Importantly, the corresponding genes are highly polymorphic and these genetic differences contribute to interindividual and interethnic differences in drug pharmacokinetics, response, and toxicity. In this study we systematically analyzed the frequency distribution of clinically relevant CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 alleles across Europe based on data from 82,791 healthy individuals extracted from 79 original publications and, for the first time, provide allele confidence intervals for the general population. We found that frequencies of CYP2D6 gene duplications showed a clear South-East to North- West gradient ranging from <1% in Sweden and Denmark to 6% in Greece and Turkey. In contrast, an inverse distribution was observed for the loss-of-function alleles CYP2D6*4 and CYP2D6*5. Similarly, frequencies of the inactive CYP2C19*2 allele were graded from North-West to South-East Europe. In important contrast to previous work we found that the increased activity allele CYP2C19*17 was most prevalent in Central Europe (25–33%) with lower prevalence in Mediterranean-South Europeans (11–24%). In summary, we provide a detailed European map of common CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 variants and find that frequencies of the most clinically relevant alleles are geographically graded reflective of Europe’s migratory history.

Overuse of medications, especially in patients with chronic diseases, carries major health risks. One common consequence of polypharmacy is the increased emergence of adverse drug events, mainly from drug–drug interactions. The majority of currently available drugs are metabolized by CYP450 enzymes. Interactions due to shared CYP450-mediated metabolic pathways for two or more drugs are frequent, especially through reversible or irreversible CYP450 inhibition. The magnitude of these interactions depends on several factors, including varying affinity and concentration of substrates, time delay between the administration of the drugs, and mechanisms of CYP450 inhibition. Various types of CYP450 inhibition (competitive, non-competitive, mechanism-based) have been observed clinically, and interactions of these types require a distinct clinical management strategy. This review focuses on mechanism-based inhibition, which occurs when a substrate forms a reactive intermediate, creating a stable enzyme–intermediate complex that irreversibly reduces enzyme activity.

Multiple hydroxylation reactions in several tissues including liver and small intestine produce different forms of vitamin D3. Low serum vitamin D levels is a global problem which may origin from differential absorption following supplementation. The objective of the present study was to estimate the physicochemical properties, metabolism, transport and pharmacokinetic behavior of vitamin D3 derivatives following oral ingestion. GastroPlus software, which is an in silico mechanistically-constructed simulation tool, was used to simulate the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic behavior for twelve vitamin D3 derivatives. The Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity (ADMET) Predictor and PKPlus modules were employed to derive the relevant parameters from the structural features of the compounds. The majority of the vitamin D3 derivatives are lipophilic (log P values > 5) with poor water solubility which are reflected in the poor predicted bioavailability. The fraction absorbed values for the vitamin D3 derivatives were low except for calcitroic acid, 1,23S,25-trihydroxy-24-oxo-vitamin D3, and (23S,25R)-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone each being greater than 90% fraction absorbed.

  • PGX CYP2C19 Genotyping
    PGX CYP2C19 Genotyping For detection of CYP2C19 variants affecting drug metabolism Clinical Background CYP2C19 isan isoenzyme of the CYP450 superfamily that metabolizes and eliminates common prescription drugs, including anti-convulsants, anti-depressants, proton pump inhibitors, and antithrombotics (clopidogrel/Plavix®), as well as anti-malaria and anti-ulcer drugs. Metabolizer phenotypes can be predicted by the CYP2C19 genotype The clinical impact of the CYP2C19 genotype is influenced by whether a drug is activated or inactivated by CYP2C19, involvement of other metabolic pathways, and other non-genetic factors (eg, other medications) Epidemiology CYP2C19 variant frequency is ethnicity dependent. The poor metabolizer phenotype (caused by two non-functional CYP2C19 alleles) is present in 4% of Caucasians, 5% of African Americans, and up to 25% of Asians. Genetics The CYP2C19 gene has nine exons and is located on chromosome 10q23.33. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. Penetrance is drug-dependent. Indications for Ordering Pre-therapeutic testing to identify individuals who should avoid, or may require unconventional doses of medications metabolized by CYP2C19. Interpretation If no CYP2C19 variants are detected, this suggests *1 allele and normal enzymatic activity. If one decreased functional or non-functional CYP2C19 variant is detected, intermediate-to- normal CYP2C19 enzymatic activity is predicted. If two non-functional variants are present on opposite alleles, this predicts low CYP2C19 enzymatic activity and a poor metabolizer phenotype.

  • Diazepam Therapy and CYP2C19 Genotype
    NLM Citation: Dean L. Diazepam Therapy and CYP2C19 Genotype. 2016 Aug 25. In: Pratt VM, McLeod HL, Rubinstein WS, et al., editors. Medical Genetics Summaries [Internet]. Bethesda (MD): National Center for Biotechnology Information (US); 2012-. Bookshelf URL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/ Diazepam Therapy and CYP2C19 Genotype Laura Dean, MD1 Created: August 25, 2016. Introduction Diazepam is a benzodiazepine with several clinical uses, including the management of anxiety, insomnia, muscle spasms, seizures, and alcohol withdrawal. The clinical response to benzodiazepines, such as diazepam, varies widely between individuals (1, 2). Diazepam is primarily metabolized by CY2C19 and CYP3A4 to the major active metabolite, desmethyldiazepam. Approximately 3% of Caucasians and 15 to 20% of Asians have reduced or absent CYP2C19 enzyme activity (“poor metabolizers”). In these individuals, standard doses of diazepam may lead to a higher exposure to diazepam. The FDA-approved drug label for diazepam states that “The marked inter-individual variability in the clearance of diazepam reported in the literature is probably attributable to variability of CYP2C19 (which is known to exhibit genetic polymorphism; about 3-5% of Caucasians have little or no activity and are “poor metabolizers”) and CYP3A4” (1). Drug: Diazepam Diazepam is used in the management of anxiety disorders or for the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. In acute alcohol withdrawal, diazepam may provide symptomatic relief from agitation, tremor, delirium tremens, and hallucinations. Diazepam is also useful as an adjunct treatment for the relief of acute skeletal muscle spasms, as well as spasticity caused by upper motor neuron disorders (3). There are currently 16 benzodiazepines licensed by the FDA.

  • The Association of Cytochrome P450 Genetic Polymorphisms With
    The Pharmacogenomics Journal (2014) 14, 263–271 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1470-269X/14 www.nature.com/tpj ORIGINAL ARTICLE The association of cytochrome P450 genetic polymorphisms with sulfolane formation and the efficacy of a busulfan-based conditioning regimen in pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation CRS Uppugunduri1,2, MA Rezgui3, PH Diaz1,2, AK Tyagi1,2, J Rousseau3, Y Daali2,4, M Duval3,5, H Bittencourt3,5, M Krajinovic3,5,6 and M Ansari1,2 Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) and flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) likely have a role in the oxidation of intermediate metabolites of busulfan (Bu). In vitro studies to investigate the involvement of these enzymes are cumbersome because of the volatile nature of the intermediate metabolite tetrahydrothiophene (THT) and the lack of sensitive quantitation methods. This study explored the association between the CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2B6 and FMO3 genotypes and sulfolane (Su, a water soluble metabolite of Bu) plasma levels in children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The relationship between these genotypes and the effectiveness of myeloablative conditioning was also analyzed. Sixty-six children receiving an intravenous Bu-based myeloablative conditioning regimen were genotyped for common functional variant alleles in CYP2C9 (*2 and *3), CYP2C19 (*2 and *17), FMO3 (rs2266780, rs2266782 and rs1736557) and CYP2B6 (*5 and *9). The plasma levels of Bu and its metabolite Su were measured after the ninth Bu dose in a subset of 44 patients for whom plasma samples were available. The ratio of Bu to Su was considered the metabolic ratio (MR) and was compared across the genotype groups.

  • Influence of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 Gene Variants on Antidepressant
    The Pharmacogenomics Journal (2014) 14, 176–181 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1470-269X/14 www.nature.com/tpj ORIGINAL ARTICLE Influence of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 gene variants on antidepressant response in obsessive-compulsive disorder EJ Brandl1,2, AK Tiwari1,2, X Zhou2,3, J Deluce2,3, JL Kennedy1,2,DJMu¨ ller1,2,4 and MA Richter1,2,3,4 Numerous studies have reported on pharmacogenetics of antidepressant response in depression. In contrast, little is known of response predictors in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a disorder with among the lowest proportion of responders to medication (40–60%). Our study is the largest investigation to date (N ¼ 184) of treatment response and side effects to antidepressants in OCD based on metabolizer status for CYP2D6 and CYP2C19. We observed significantly more failed medication trials in CYP2D6 non-extensive compared with extensive metabolizers (P ¼ 0.007). CYP2D6 metabolizer status was associated with side effects to venlafaxine (P ¼ 0.022). There were nonsignificant trends for association of CYP2D6 metabolizer status with response to fluoxetine (P ¼ 0.056) and of CYP2C19 metabolizer status with response to sertraline (P ¼ 0.064). Our study is the first to indicate that CYP genes may have a role in antidepressant response in OCD. More research is required for a future clinical application of genetic testing, which could lead to improved treatment outcomes.
